Lloyd Cole - To The Lions

I lost my girl on monday
Looking for some sympathy
I went to church directly
The lord was not there for me
Didn’t go to work on tuesday
Got to drinking around noon
I lost my heart to a mean bartender
She knocked me off my stool

Now the world’s spinning round too fast lord
Won’t you let me off on the corner
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs’s a little push in that direction

I lost my job on friday
Said a lack of discipline
I went to church directly
Peter said he was not in
I hit the bar on sunday
Looking for some discipline
I sold my soul to the mean bartender
She said I’m born again

Now the world’s spinning round too fast lord
Won’t you let me off on the corner
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs’s a little pushing
You time it just right
You could send me to the lions tonight
